PREFACE. 



These studies are not meant to take the place of the text- 
book, but are to be used as a guide to further reading. Ref- 
erences to three of the leading text-books have been inserted 
at the end of each reign or period. The bibliography is sug- 
gestive rather than exhaustive. Extended references to con- 
stitutional histories have not been given, although some of 
the best of these have been mentioned in the bibliography. 
It is hoped that these studies may stimulate the student's 
interest and assist in fixing the more important facts in Eng- 
lish History.
